Biography	Larrick was an enslaved African on the Turners Hall sugar plantation in Barbados, who first appears in the records on 31 December 1759. In 1759 he was recorded as 'bosen' [bosun] of the mill and in 1771 as the mill man; both terms indicated that he was the man in charge of sugar processing at the sugar mill on the plantation. In 1780 he is described as 'middle aged' and 'unhealthy'. He was the driver [i.e. overseer of other enslaved people] of the great gang; the great gang worked in the cane fields and comprised the fittest people who did the hardest work. Larrick was born in Barbados and was married to Attey.
